Cucking The Demon King
Chapter 72: Demonic Authority

Chapter 72: Demonic Authority

"W-what?!" Kurt muttered, his eyes widening in shock.

"Directly from the Silvagold house, the knight king... himself?" He asked, doubting the words he just heard.

Never before had there been a case where the Silvagold family interfered in the handling of missions, talk-less of the knight king.

The knight king and the supreme priest held the unparalleled power within the kingdom, both bearing the ability to hear the goddess’ voice directly.

’It is because... his children are involved in this mission?’ Kurt thought, tapping a finger on his bald head.

Usually, the students were sent on missions to assist the soldiers in war.

However, they weren’t meant to be at the front of the war, only supporting from the back.

The church only wanted them to get first hand experience on how it felt to fight against demons, and didn’t want to needlessly end their lives.

The ones who passed the mission would be allowed to join the holy knights, and those who didn’t perform well would eventually be dropped.

But then, the mission given to Liam and his teammates was nothing like that.

Heretics were known to be tricky and powerful.

Even if the mastery of their blessings wasn’t too high, they still weren’t opponents for ordinary students to face.

’What the hell is the church thinking?’ He thought, clicking his tongue.

Nonetheless, he didn’t have a say in the matter, as he was just a combat instructor.

’How unfortunate, it’s just their bad luck they were grouped together with the Silvagolds.’ He thought, shaking his head.

According to the rumours, the knight king eliminated a whole squad of demons on his first mission.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he hoped for his children to attain something like that, which was why he assigned such a tough mission to them.

’Besides, this fucker... hypnotised them.’ He thought, his brows furrowing.

"Hey... hey... don’t give me that look." Tenny quickly said, almost as if he could read the man’s thoughts.

"I only did what I was ordered to do..." He continued, letting out a low sigh. "It’s not like I gave them the order."

"But still..." He said, his lips slowly curling into a smirk. "Aren’t you curious, about just how the mission would turn out?"

"About why the knight king interfered himself? I’ve never met the knight king before, but I’m sure he has his reason for doing this."

"If I were to guess, catching the heretic or purging the village isn’t the true goal of his mission."

Kurt narrowed his eyes at the priest. "What do you mean?"

Tenny simply shrugged, his lips curled into a knowing smirk. "Who knows?"

Kurt’s jaw clenched. He pushed himself up from the chair, shaking his head in frustration.

He turned toward the door, his boots tapping against the stone floor.

But just as he reached for the handle, Tenny’s voice stopped him.

"I get that they’re your students," He said, his voice smooth and unbothered, "But the will of the church is above all... you know that."

Kurt inhaled sharply, his fingers curling into fists.

"There’s no need to worry too much." Tenny continued, his tone casual. "Someone will be supervising them on the mission."

Kurt froze mid-step. He slowly turned his head, narrowing his eyes at the priest. "Who?"

The priest didn’t answer immediately. He simply smirked again, tilting his head slightly.

Kurt’s stomach dropped. His pupils trembled as realization dawned.

"No," He muttered. "Don’t tell me... It’s her." His voice was barely above a whisper, filled with disbelief and underlying dread.

Tenny leaned back, his fingers tapping against the desk rhythmically. "She’s the perfect one for the job."

Kurt’s expression darkened. His teeth clenched so hard his jaw ached. "Anyone but her."

The priest chuckled. "At least that way, they might not have to worry about all of them ending up dead."

Kurt didn’t respond. He gave Tenny one last glare before yanking the door open and stepping out. The door slammed shut behind him.

A heavy sigh left his lips as he walked down the dimly lit corridor. His mind was a tangled mess of frustration and concern.

"This is exactly why I left the Holy Knights..." He muttered under his breath.

Sending children on an elimination mission—one that demanded them to massacre an entire village—was nothing short of cruel. It was evil. But then again, cruelty was never beyond the Holy Church.

Still, no matter how much he despised their methods, the demons were worse. He would rather remain on this side than join the abyss.

Yet... lately, he found himself wondering.

Was there really any difference between the two?

*

A few hours later.

Liam sat on his bed, his fingers tightening around the hilts of the two swords resting on his lap.

His eyes burned into them, his face pulled into a deep frown.

His mind swirled with countless thoughts.

The mission.

The church’s hypocrisy.

The divine mark.

Elsa, Lela, and Grace were still affected by it.

The system had removed his own, but he had no idea how to free the girls.

He needed them to be unmarked—not only to secure his influence over them but also for their own sake.

If they were under the church’s control, they would follow its commands without question.

Even if that meant slaughtering an entire village.

Though he wasn’t what exactly would happen during the mission, he had a very bad feeling about it.

His fingers tapped against the blade. His frown deepened.

"Lilith," he called out internally.

The familiar sultry voice echoed in his mind.

[Yes, little incubus.]

"If I... just sleep with them again, will my divinity transfer into their bodies and erase the mark?"

Lilith hummed, as if considering the idea.

[I doubt it would be that simple.]

[Besides, it would be far too risky. You might remove the mark, but in doing so, you’d also expose yourself.]

Liam exhaled, rubbing a hand over his face. He knew she was right.

Having sex before marriage was considered fornication, which was against the core commandments of the church.

If they were caught, they wouldn’t just receive punishment—they would be locked up, forced to undergo ’corrective therapy’ under the church’s iron grip.

And that wasn’t an option.

Not for him. Not for them.

His hand dropped to the side, and he let out a slow breath.

"I don’t care about committing any sin," he muttered. "I’m a demon of lust. That’s my nature."

Lilith giggled.

[Oh, trust me, I know. But even demons must be careful. Besides, you can’t let yourself get caught this early.]

Liam clicked his tongue.

His gaze shifted to the side, landing on the shimmering system tab hovering in the air.

[Common Spins: 1,000 Lust points]

[Rare Spins: 10,000 Lust points]

[Epic Spins: 100,000 Lust points]

[Legendary Spins: 1,000,000 Lust points]

[Divine Spins: 10,000,000 Lust points]

His fingers hovered over the options for a few seconds before he tapped on the [Legendary Spin].

A million lust points were deducted instantly.

A golden box materialized before him, floating in the air. It shimmered beautifully, its radiance captivating.

It spun slowly, rotating in place for a few moments before popping open.

A notification flashed across his vision.

[New Skill Acquired: Demonic Authority(level 1)

Liam’s lips parted slightly.

Demonic Authority?

His eyes flickered with curiosity as he quickly pulled up the skill description.

[Demonic Authority(level 1)

[The manifestation of a high-ranking demon’s will, granting dominion over weaker forces and the ability to erode divine influences.]

[Note: Authority can’t be used if the difference between host’s strength and target’s is too high, and could possibly cause a backlash.]

Liam’s breath hitched slightly.

This...

This was perfect.

A slow smirk curled onto his lips.

With this skill, he might just have a way to remove the divine mark from Elsa, Lela, and Grace.

And more than that...

It was time to start making the church regret ever trying to control him.

’As expected of a legendary skill...’ He thought, his lips curling up slightly.

However, he couldn’t help but feel a pang in his chest at the thought of losing one million lust points.

In a flash, it was gone, leaving him with a measly one hundred thousand lust points.

’Haa... at least I got a good skill from it.’ He thought, chuckling to himself.

’Perhaps I should spin again.’ He wondered, placing a hand on his chin.

He briefly pondered whether to spin a rare or epic spin.

The former would save him points, while the later could surely grant him a powerful skill.

At the end of the day, he settled on a rare spin, and gently clicked on the tab.

A bronze box immediately appeared in front of him, spinning for a few seconds before popping open.

However, Liam continued spinning it, until he used up all hundred thousand of his lust points, gaining ten rewards.
